My agent Darren Dein spoke to Arsene [Wenger], he didn’t give him an answer to be honest, then we had to wait one full week to see if Arsenal responded," Fabregas told the Arsecast podcast. Definitely this was my first option, in my mind I’m telling everyone I’m going to Arsenal, this is what I want.
Wilfried Zaha is "so set on leaving" Crystal Palace, Crystal Palace manager Roy Hodgson says. The 27-year-old Ivory Coast forward was linked with moves to both Everton and Arsenal last summer. However, a deal failed to materialise and Hodgson says the speculation impacted on the player this season. It's obviously affected him because his form in the last few weeks has really been quite poor considering what he is capable of doing," Hodgson said.

Good morning. Both teams lost their matches after the restart of the championship. The Gezzenkirchenians were destroyed in Dortmund (4-0), and Augsburg lost at home to Wolfsburg (1-2), although he did not deserve that defeat, but the score, as they say, is on the scoreboard.
Grazer and Floridsdorfer will face each other in the upcoming match in the 2. Liga in Austria. Grazer this season have the following results: 4W, 6D and 6L. Meanwhile Floridsdorfer have 4W, 5D and 7L. This season both these teams are usually playing attacking football in the league and their matches are often high scoring.
Austria Vienna II has not really lost too many games by more than one goal difference this season and also at home against Lafnitz they lost just 3-2 in the end despite being 3-1 for their opponents till late in that one they scored the 2nd goal and only lost by one goal difference which kills my appetite for taking the -1.5 AH on the hosts here as last season while hosting this opponent they totally dominated the game and easily won with 2-0 in the end could have been an even bigger win.
Did Sterling want to injure him? I don't think so. I don't believe that. Respect to Sterling. But the intention doesn't count and what counts is the action. It's a red card. Son Heung-min put Spurs 1-0 up at St Mary's on 25 January before substitute Sofiane Boufal's late equaliser forced a replay at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. The winners of Wednesday's replay will host Norwich City in the fifth round.
Fabian Schar looks like he has dislocated his shoulder and Allan Saint-Maximin has a calf [injury] - we'll have to see on him but we are down to the bare bones. We were already missing seven. It's about getting a few back for the start of next season now. Man of the match - Harry Kane (Tottenham) Harry Kane only had 28 touches - fewer than any other outfield player in either starting line-up - but was the difference between the sides with his goalsMatch stats - Son's best Premier League seasonOnly Liverpool and Manchester City have won more Premier League games than Tottenham since Mourinho's first game in November.
Wayne Rooney's team was unable to repulse the reserve staff of “Manchester United” in the framework of the FA Cup, now it is time to return to ordinary things - to fight for the playoffs of the Championship. In the 37th round, “Derby County” will take on their field “Blackburn”, which is located three steps from the six strongest teams of the tournament, while the “sheep” occupy only 13th place. Will the hosts manage to improve their tournament position based on the results of this meeting?
Moyes’ first port of call will be to improve their home form. They’re without a win at the London Stadium since September in the league, although the fact that they’ve scored in each of their last eight home league games does provide some cause for optimism.
The club are yet to respond officially. Another interesting element to the recruitment process at Tottenham is that, according to the Daily Mail, Mourinho was not top of the list. In fact, Brendan Rodgers was said to be Spurs chairman Daniel Levy's but he could not be lured away from Leicester. If that is the case, it seems wrong-headed, given that Mourinho and Rodgers could not be more different in their playing and man-management styles.
That level-headed approach is a key factor in the club over-achieving so often during his seven and a half years in charge. He watched on as Jay Rodriguez scored that penalty, the second goal in a 3-0 win. It means Burnley are eighth in the Premier League - pushing, impressively, for European qualification.
It's been confirmed that Manchester City will give Premier League champions Liverpool a guard of honour when the two teams meet at the Etihad on Thursday. We will greet Liverpool, when they come to our house, in an incredible way," City boss Pep Guardiola said this week. We are going to do it because they deserve it. That's very gracious of Pep. He didn't have to - there's nothing actually in the Premier League guidebook that officially obliges a club to give one.

There were further incidents involving the technology on Saturday in Bournemouth's defeat at Burnley and Manchester City's win at Leicester. VAR was introduced in the Premier League this season but has been criticised for its inconsistencies in decision making as well as for the time it takes for rulings to be made killing the excitement of matches. Foy admits there have been teething issues but says patience is needed as the game adjusts to the technology.
I really see plenty of goals in this match who will be played in elite Romanian league and that is pretty ok and real for me. So, it is clear that Viitorul want to win title this is season, but they need to be better on away matches. They are won in last four matches in league, at home, but it will not be easy here. Astra is also in excellent form and they are coming in this match after four wins in a row. I see here, let's say, 2-1 for one of rivals and I will try that.
Ansu opened the scoring after the half-hour mark, slotting a finish under Aitor Fernandez after being threaded through by Messi. And the duo combined again just two minutes later, with the 17-year-old sending a shot into the back of the net through the legs of the Levante goalkeeper. Levante had a number of opportunities to get back into the game in the second half, but could only find the net in stoppage time when Ruben Rochina had a deflected strike flash past Marc-Andre ter Stegen, but it was too late for the away side as Barca cruised to a crucial three points.
He will have to be surrounded by a good environment at the club. Manchester City assistant manager Mikel Arteta has spoken with senior Arsenal figures about the Gunners job'I would have jumped in front of the VAR monitor'Wenger has not been away from the game for long, but there have been changes, with video assistant referees (VAR) introduced in the Premier League at the start of this season. The new technology has caused controvers and fans have been frustrated by delays in play while decisions are made.
It was clearly onside. It was such a bad mistake from Sheffield United to not play on. Ex-Everton midfielder Leon Osman felt the technology did exactly what it was supposed to do. He said on BBC Radio 5 Live: "We've spoke many times about whether VAR is adding or taking away from the game but that's exactly why it came in or Newcastle would have had that goal taken away from them when he was clearly onside.
Ozil took off a black armband and booted it away after being substituted during the Gunners' defeat against Manchester City on Sunday. The match at Goodison Park will be Ljungberg's last in charge before Mikel Arteta takes over as permanent manager and he opted to go into the game with a young first eleven.
In the eyes of the bookies, Leeds were the coming force of British football. In the eyes of the English media, Celtic were a fading power, fortunate to get past Benfica and unlikely to live with Leeds, who'd scored 24 goals en route to the semi-final and had conceded none. Celtic, it was written, had played 14 European Cup games since the glories of Lisbon and had won only five. All of this put into evidence of why Leeds were going to win this tie.
